Anyway, something seems to be wrong with your OpenMPI installation.
Just read the output of your ompi_info in your email below.
You will see that the OpenMPI version is 1.4.4.
However, most components are version 1.4.2.
Do you agree?

I would download the OpenMPI 1.4.4 tarball again and start fresh.
Untar the tarball in a brand new directory, don't overwrite old stuff.
Also, every time your OpenMPI build fails, or if you want to change compilers
[say from gfortran to ifort],
do a 'make distclean' to cleanup any leftovers of previous builds,
and change the destination directory in --prefix= , to install in a different location.
